The Beatles: Rock Band to include harmony? Rumors say yes

Will we be able to sing vocal harmonies in The Beatles: Rock Band? More and …

One of the things we hoped to see in the upcoming The Beatles: Rock Band package when we speculated on what may be included was the ability to hook up multiple microphones to sing harmony. It was an important part of the band's sound, and would be yet another way to make the game a strong multiplayer experience. The rumors around the game seem to be indicating that we'll get our wish.

First up, Destructoid reported that the rumor section of Game Informer stated—how bloggy is this?—that the game would include support for vocal harmonies. So there's that bit of smoke.

Now Kotaku is reporting that a source sent them a retail description of the game that includes the description of vocal harmonies. Take a look:

The Beatles: Rock Band is the music game experience that allows players to follow the legendary career of The Beatles from Liverpool, to Shea Stadium to Abbey Road. Featuring the ability to play drums, lead guitar, bass guitar or sing three part harmony with up to three microphones, The Beatles: Rock Band will focus on authentically recreating the feeling of performing The Beatles music on stage and in the studio.

So there we have it. No solid information, not yet, but the game does ship with a mic stand. That's another hint, isn't it? I'm really hoping for this one to be true, and for the feature to pop up in future rhythm games.
